Encompassing and illuminating Ford's myriad complexities and contradictions, McBride traces the trajectory of Ford's life from his beginnings as \"Bull\" Feeney, the nearsighted, football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Portland, Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-honored career, as America's national mythmaker. Blending lively and penetrating analyses of Ford's films with an impeccably documented narrative of the historical and psychological contexts in which those films were created, McBride has at long last given John Ford the biography his stature demands.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe definitive biography of one of Hollywood's master directors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph McBride\u003c\/b\u003e is a film historian and associate professor in the Department of Cinema Studies at San Francisco State University.
